Powerheads are versatile devices great for use in freshwater or saltwater aquariums. Powerheads are ideal for running various filters, adding current to stagnant areas, evenly distributing supplements, and general water movement within your aquarium system.

For outstanding versatility and reliable performance, we recommend the Marineland Maxi-Jet PRO. This multipurpose unit can be easily reconfigured as a powerhead or an aquarium water pump. Use as a high output powerhead for running undergravel filters or to provide vital water movement in reef aquariums. Great as a return pump, salt mixing pump or for creating a fountain.

My tank is in the basement and there is no sink. There is,however, a laundry drain less than five feet away and roughly the same height as the tank. Could I just use one of the water pumps to pump the water out of the tank and down the drain? Which one would you recommend.

Thank you for your question. Most soft corals require medium to high water flow, depending on the type of soft corals you have in your aquarium. Having one on each side of the aquarium will help circulate the water. Depending on the type of soft corals the powerheads can be directed at the coral.

I want to use it for a return flow from my refugium, which is fed by an overflow box. If something went wrong, and the powerhead was out of water, I want to make sure I have one that won't burn up and die. Is this common, or if not, which ones have this feature?
